Porcelain Lyrics

[Intro]
God knows I tried
But broken, I bow to the beast inside
Covered my tracks but couldn't swallow my pride
As sure as the moonlight strikes our skin
I howled a wrecking ball and you were porcelain

[Verse 1]
An altered state
Sometimes I even scare myself
Is it too late to question fate?
And hope is fleeting
Still tethered to this grim divergence of my being
I can't stop the bleeding

[Pre-Chorus]
I can barely stand myself

[Chorus 1]
God knows I tried
But broken, I bow to the beast inside
Covered my tracks but couldn't swallow my pride
As sure as the moonlight strikes our skin
I howled a wrecking ball and you were porcelain
Porcelain, porcelain

[Verse 2]
I saw your face, but it couldn't save me
I fell from grace, and I cracked your smile
Don't rescue me, I can't escape it
Ravenously, feed my feral mind

[Pre-Chorus]
We bend before we break

[Chorus 1]
God knows I tried
But broken, I bow to the beast inside
Covered my tracks but couldn't swallow my pride
As sure as the moonlight strikes our skin
I howled a wrecking ball and you were porcelain

[Bridge]
Porcelain, compulsions killing me
Giving in, and I can't go back
Porcelain, it's fucking killing me
Giving in, I can't go back

[Chorus 2]
I've broken my vows to reconcile
I shattered your heart and left a crack in your smile
As sure as the moonlight strikes our skin
I howled a wrecking ball, and you were porcelain

[Outro]
Porcelain, porcelain

What did Motionless in White say about "Porcelain"?

Chris “Motionless” Cerulli:

This is the companion track to “Werewolf”. Both of them are about the conversation between the two parts of myself. I have my normal, compassionate self that I typically live my daily life with. Then I have what I think is a really ugly side of myself, which is really angry with explosive rage. That side of myself has ruined things in my life many times because it just takes over, and I can’t control it. In my therapy sessions, we refer to it as the werewolf because it’s appropriate to my personality, being a big fan of horror and Halloween and everything. So, “Werewolf” and “Porcelain” are essentially the same lyrical track split up over two songs.
